I was looking for software to tune up my Laptop.

The laptop was over 12 months old and has had lots of software installed on it over that time, maybe 60/80 applications.

So I had a choice re-format it and start again or Tune it up. Normally I am a re-format it type of guy.

However I had heard good things about System Mechanic and decided to give it a go.
